Projects working on this...

Very reminiscent of the Alumatub years ago built by Marcel Delay for Boyd.

 

I get a twinge of Lil John Buttera here. Nothing wrong with that, IMHO.

I think it demonstrates great skills and I'd like to see more pictures of the details. It fits. Now let's paint it and drive it!

 

What do ya spose it weighs?

 

Two and a half men lifted it off the cart and set it on stands. Thinking it will be around 1500-1900 lbs when its done.

 

Me too...

 

I have a folding card table that looks more sturdy that that body dolly!!

 

Was that inboard shocks on the front? I sure would like some pics of that if possible.
Thanks,
Mike

 

That's why I posted the needle....that's the cure... OUCH!

Beautiful work on the truck. HRP

 

Pretty cool and dedicated build, although it needs that little aluminum nailhead engine.

 

Until now I thought that was a negative but I guess your Hotrod pleased the member...

 

@Aluminum1929 Brushed aluminum is nice but have you ever given thought to polishing this thing either entirely or selectively?

 

Dang- those are some serious fabrication skills and a great eye for design you have going on there-don't apologize - it's not like you're building an aluminum Mustang to show off here

Amazing skills and work . Thank you for sharing.

 

thnx. for sharing , I have a friend with a 30's mopar with same engine and that ride makes road speeds at your weight may I suggest 2 morbidly obese friends to ride along when you go cruising or wings what ever is more appealing BTY folks but after 4 hours youll be calling from the cardiac unit cause if you got it you just gotta use it .

 

Beautiful craftsmanship .... very well done.

 

Bob Galbraith from Newport Engineering was telling me I should polish it too. I'm kinda partial to the brushed finish look...and I'm too lazy to buff around all those louvers.

 

I wasn't crazy about some of the stuff Lil' John did, but you have to appreciate the thought and execution of things he did. Some of the small brackets and clamps he made were just amazing.

 

Wow...Impressive build. Great workmanship!

 

well done mate

 

Amazing

 

Thanks for the pics of the shocks. That's some really great work you are doing.

Mike

 

Very Kool, Please keep us posted on the progress.

 

My thoughts to the tee.

 

Is the frame aluminum?
I had a chance to buy and aluminum frame years ago, but I was worried about the durability and strength of an aluminum frame on the street.
